CONCEPTUALIZATION - Yes. The world. All of it. What is it.

MAYOR MARE - “Well: where do I start? We currently inhabit the Equestrivol Insula, in the city of Maretainnaise, on the island of Marechevol; we’re an archipelago you see. The word insula comes from the Caballomado language and means roughly speaking: an island, a place set apart or a region enveloped. The world is split between at least seven Insulas; but there used to be more: Equestrivol, North Equestria, South Equestria, Stalliongraad, Mawu, Hapkuur, and Rom. These regions remained isolated until six-thousand years ago in part because of the reason they’ve been so isolated: the existence of The Pale. The Pale, making up some sixty-seventy percent of our world’s surface is our single greatest geological feature; and it’s growing too. It’s reality has escaped the very best reasoning by Logical Positivism to understand it, as it represents so much what should be impossible: negative space, negative energy, negative time even. There is an extent to which creature-kind can delve into the Pale Region and that is in so much as time remains real in a particular sense and not ed the threshold at which numerology ceases altogether, and so long as physical reference points can be maintained it’s navigable. But exposure to the region causes a psychological-radioactive decay in the individuals similar to that of intense sensory deprivation causing deposition of false memory or experience. Historical Materialists from Staliongraad have asserted for the last century that The Pale isn’t a mere form of temporally displaced matter, but a form of rarified time. A state of Time-In-Being if you will where at all moments all time acts at once, including Non-Being. Positivists among the Moralintern of course dismiss this way of thinking as being Pseudo-Gnostic, in a way of reviving the notion that The Pale represents the barrier between the Abyss and the Mundi Materia, Undead Existence that ghosts cross over into the world from. But: I don’t know about that. It’s certainly an attractive prospect.”
